The worst dental experience ever. The billing office is inadequate, and makes errors. The actual doctor is technically fine, but she has TERRIBLE bedside manner. In summary, I am experiencing a financial loss ($2000.00) out of my pocket due to this office. I filed a BB claim. DO NOT GO HERE.

Horrible customer service, the reminder texts almost always have incorrect information, and on top of that the procedure was done incorrectly or something because my mouth hurts more than it did before. Don't come here if you want good service.

I was referred to Dr Abe by my primary dentist. My tooth broke below the gum line and I needed to have a specialist remove the tooth. I waited in the chair for more than 2 hours but finally had the tooth removed and I was prepped for an implant.
During the 2 hour wait, my insurance was being checked. I agreed to the implant because my insurance supposedly would cover it. I signed the agreement that payment was my responsibility. I questioned the statement on the agreement that said, "we advise preauthorizations to determine limitations of your plan." I was told that preauthorizations can take weeks to months to be approved and since my insurance mostly covered the implant I should probably go ahead and have the implant prep work done today. I should have waited. My insurance doesn't cover implants. Now, I have a $1,200 bill and an obvious missing tooth.
To add insult to injury (yes, the bone graft was incredibly painful for 2 weeks) when I went back in for phase 2 (apparently there are 3 phases) of the implant, immediately the clinician took me back for another scan that my insurance doesn't cover $205. So that padded the bill even more. At this point they told me I owed them $1,747 and asked if I would like to continue with the implant procedures. Had I known the insurance didn't cover this scan, I wouldn't have done it nor any of phase 1 of the implant procedures.
I finally talked to their business office. Needless to say I am very disappointed in the insurance billing. I was told it was the software and someone who entered my insurance incorrectly. They brought the amount down to $1,201 but actually that is the insurance adjusted amount. I will have to pay another $4,000 to have the job done. I am disappointed. Appears to me they just want my money.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sarah R.Portland, OR3617472Aug 1, 2020
Would not recommend for a wisdom tooth removal. VERY unprofessional telling a patient to stop crying and disrespect the patient as they are in pain. What type of dentist is allowed to disrespect their clients and have the assistant be the nice one and stand up for them. As you can see in past reviews this lady has a history of being rude to her clients. Looks like their is a pattern here and should be reported to the board of dentistry.

Dr. Abe and her staff did a "Hack" job on my wife on 2/5/2018. My wife went in for a full tooth extraction, due to tooth decay of a pain medication my wife had taken for 12 years. My wife also suffers a "Wasting Disease" that makes it hard for her to retain her weight.
Add me her African American dreadlock, husband and you have a recipe for people to make "Assumptions". Also I've been told by another Doctor, That
"Price Gauging" practises done to patients who receive Medicaid or Medicare,or local health care. Is done very often.
Sadly in my wife's case, Dr. Abe clearly assumed due to my wife's (low body weight, decaying teeth, and black husband), that she had to be a "Addict". So with this assumption despite she was removing 22 teeth. In her wisdom she chose to use ketamine instead of Propofol. Then during the procedure my wife woke up,stood up and started waving her hands clearly disoriented. Instead of asking for my assistance, 1 of her assistants forced my wife back in the chair and "Straddle" my wife so hard, her ribs were sore and bruised.
Then due to her not using the proper agent to put my wife to sleep. She decided to sew up the left over bits of bone, and spurs protruding out of her upper and bottom gums.
When the nurse brought her out they told me the list on rinsing etc, buy nothing about not getting all the teeth out, and briefly mentioned her waking up. The Uncompassionate Dr. Abe wrote my wife "18" 5ml Vicodin. Not even the amount of teeth she pulled. 3 days later my wife looks like a chipmunk who got beat up by "Mike Tyson" due to the black circles my wife had under her eyes. I swear I thought they took turns beating on her.
6 days later my wife is in excruciating pain because every 20 minutes she's pulling bits and pieces of bone out of her gums.
She calls to speak to Dr. Abe for more pain meds, and shes told she has to come in. She comes in the next day, and writes her "12" pain meds.
13 days later my wife is still in pain and now large bone fragments are visibly showing through her gums. By this time I had "Verbally" shown my concern on a review and felt if my wife had better insurance my wife would had been treated better. You'd think normally when someone is about to take 22 teeth out of your wife's mouth, or after the fact you'd l meet the dentist.
Instead I was told by Dr. Abe's,staff that Dr. Abe, did not tolerate racial slurs, I laughed because I knew I had the constitutional right to voice my opinion. Then oddly 15 days after the surgery, out of the blue,
Dr.Abe writes my wife a script of 13 pain meds without my wife asking or calling.
Seeing how we don't have a car and use medical transportation, the doctor or clinic has to tell the company that yes they need to see the patient. If Dr. Abe,had done this my wife would have been able to get a "Pharmacy Stop". Well do to my bad review Dr. Abe said she would not tell transportation she needed to see my wife. Sadly 24 days after the surgery we learned that Dentist like her have,
"Tork Laws" that protect them from "Mal-practise" basically Like a hidden "Arbitrary Agreement". Meaning these doctors can screw your mouth up,double charge Medicaid, and not do a good job.
30 days after surgery, Dr. Abe, never once call my wife or me. She has a degree in "Dentistry but no degree in Compassion".
If you have Medicaid or Oregon Health care,don't choose Dr. Abe.
You'd be better to use pliers and some floss.

So I was SUPER nervous about getting my wisdom teeth out... So nervous that I went in the day of my surgery with just some nitrous oxide and Dr. Abe numbed me up and I started freaking out thinking I couldn't swallow (obviously I was fine) but I couldn't calm myself down. So I left crying and aplgozing cause I felt terrible and had to reschedule for another time to be put to sleep to get it done.. Dr.Abe's staff was super sweet. Anyways so a month later I come in and get it done. I obviously don't remember much of the visit as I was out.. But I literally had barely any pain. I never needed my pain meds. I took some ibprofuen for the first two days then I was just a little sore. I followed her aftercare instructions very carefully and it's now been a little over a week since I got the surgery and I am healing great! Also I have had a few things I needed to call back for and Krystal is so helpful and sweet. Overall this place is great with kind staff and a quick/efficient Dr. Abe!
Thank you guys so much :)Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Priscilla R.Portland, OR192Nov 10, 2019
I cannot praise Dr. Abe and her wonderful team enough (special shout out to Crystal!). My husband was experiencing severe tooth pain and needed an emergency extraction. We were unable to get to his usual dentist, so I called them as the nearest to our home. The staff were so helpful and they stayed after hours to get the tooth out and to relieve the pain so he didn't have to wait two more days. Records were transferred, insurance was called, and we were in-and- out in only a couple hours. Everything was handled so quickly and smoothly. They are also just the nicest and a joy to be around. I highly recommend them.

Dr. Abe and all her staff are so helpful and professional. I needed an appointment last minute because I was in pain and Dr. Abe got me in and all fixed up fast. If you want someone that knows how to do the job perfectly then go to Dr. Abe. I did not have insurance and payed out of pocket for my procedure and I am very happy with my services from this business and I will always use Dr. Abe for my dental work. I just can't say enough how helpful everyone from this business has been.

Dr. Abe and her team were nothing but spectacular with me. I got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and they were so patient with me through my nerves and tears when I got too scared. The staff was knowledgeable and clear with their instructions. Dr. Abe made sure to list all possible risks and while to some that may not be very comforting, I knew it all came from a good place and it was good to know everything that could possibly happen. Dr. Abe and her team were diligent, thorough, friendly and supportive even after the 15 month delay of my consultation and the actual removal. After my procedure, my caretaker took a while to get back to the office post surgery so they moved me to a room i'd be comfortable in and put on a TV show of my choice from Netflix (I chose The Office). They helped me into the car after my surgery and sent me off just as nicely as they welcomed me in. I could not recommend a better oral surgeon and practice to go to.
I even got a call today, only a day after my surgery, that I had a floral delivery. I got down to my lobby and I had received a beautiful arrangement from Dr. Abe. This was an amazing experience. GO HERE!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
